California State Bar Attorney Scraper

Turn the official State Bar of California licensee directory into a structured, ready-to-use attorney lead list — one clean row per licensed attorney, with phone, firm, mailing address and license status.

California is the largest bar in the United States (250k+ licensees) — the definitive contact universe for anyone who sells to attorneys.

What you get

One row per attorney:

• name, barNumber, licenseStatus (Active / Inactive / Not Eligible / Resigned / Disbarred / Suspended)
• firmName, address, city, state, zip — parsed from the published mailing address
• phone, fax — in plaintext on the source
• website — when the attorney lists one
• county, lawSchool, admissionDate, practiceAreas (self-reported)
• hasDisciplinaryRecord — boolean, derived from the public license-history table
• profileUrl, scrapedAt

Email is NOT returned. The State Bar obfuscates attorney emails with JavaScript decoys (about 20 fake mailto: spans per page, only the real one un-hidden by client-side script at runtime), so no HTTP/HTML scrape can reliably pick the real address. This actor returns phone, firm and mailing address, which the State Bar publishes in plaintext. No email is claimed anywhere.

Use cases

• Build malpractice-insurance prospect lists (carriers & brokers)
• Legal-SaaS outbound (practice-management, e-signature, billing)
• CLE / bar-prep marketing lists
• Legal recruiting and lateral sourcing
• Expert-witness and co-counsel sourcing
• Attorney license verification (status + bar number + admission date)

Inputs

Two modes:

1. Search (default) — targeted pulls:

• queries — free-text terms (a last name, a firm, or lastname, city). Each query returns up to 500 attorneys (the site's hard cap). If a query hits 500, the log tells you to narrow it (e.g. add a city or split by last-name prefix).
• cities — exact-match city search (Advanced Search) when you want everyone in a city.
• statusFilter — keep only the license statuses you want (e.g. just Active). Empty = keep all.

2. Bar-number range — full-coverage crawl:

• barNumberStart / barNumberEnd — bar numbers are sequential, so a range walks every profile in [start, end].

maxRecords caps how many attorneys the run returns (cost/speed guard).
